74## AI Build Instructions
75 
76> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
77> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
78> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
79> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
80> user before adding one.
81 
82### 1 · Your role
83 
84You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Arcade Night** as its
85design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.
86Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
87components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
88person who authored this file.
89 
90### 2 · Token compliance
91 
92- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
93  from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
94- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
95  hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
96- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
97  in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
98- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
99  Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
100 
101### 3 · Component recipes
102 
103Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.
104 
105#### Buttons
106 
107Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.
108 
109- **Primary** — sharp shape, bg `#c8ff3a`, text `#0a0b08`, padding `12px 22px`, weight `700`.
110- **Secondary** — sharp shape, text `#eef0e6`, border `1px solid rgba(238,240,230,0.18)`, padding `12px 22px`, weight `600`.
111- **Outline** — sharp shape, text `#c8ff3a`, border `1px solid #c8ff3a`, padding `12px 22px`, weight `600`.
112- **Ghost** — sharp shape, text `#8a8f80`, padding `12px 18px`, weight `600`.
113 
114Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.
115**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary
116actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.
117 
118#### Cards
119 
120- Background: `#0a0b08`
121- Border: `1px solid rgba(238,240,230,0.06)`
122- Shadow: `rgba(238,240,230,0.06) 0 0 0 1px`
123- Radius: `radius.lg` (`2px`)
124- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.
125 
126#### Tabs
127 
128Variant: `underline`. Flat row of labels. Active tab gets a 2px underline in the accent color — no fill.
129 
130#### Charts
131 
132- Bar/line variant: `flat`
133- No gridlines — let the bars/lines carry the data.
134- Highlight strategy: `single` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.
135 
136#### Typography pairings
137 
138- **Display (`Big Shoulders Display`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.
139- **Body (`JetBrains Mono`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.
140- **Mono (`JetBrains Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.
141 
142### 4 · Hard constraints
143 
144Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
145 
146- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
147- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
148- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
149- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
150- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
151 
152### 5 · Before you finish — verify
153 
154Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
155 
156- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
157- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
158- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
159- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
160- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
161- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.
162

165## 1. Atmosphere
166 
167Arcade Night is the broadcast aesthetic of a competitive event — late-night arenas, scoreboard overlays, the moment before a tournament starts. The page is near-black `#0a0b08` (a hair warmer than pure to feel cinematic), text is bone-white, and one electric lime `#c8ff3a` carries every primary action. There are no gradients, no glows, no rounded corners. The system is sharp by design.
168 
169The display face is a condensed industrial sans (Big Shoulders Display) at heavy weights — built for scorecards and arena banners. Body and labels run in JetBrains Mono with uppercase tracking, reinforcing the broadcast-overlay feel. Cards have no shadow; they sit on hairlines at 6% bone, and the only depth comes from the lime accent.
170 
171**Signature moves**
172- Big Shoulders Display 800 at 88px hero — condensed, athletic, uncompromising
173- One lime accent (`#c8ff3a`), used for primary CTA and active state — never decorated, never tinted
174- Knife-edge corners (0px radius) on every surface except the small 2px lift on featured cards
175- Mono body with uppercase 0.10em tracking — every label reads like a broadcast lower-third
176- Cards as 1px bone-on-black hairlines, no fill, no shadow
177 
178## 2. Palette
179 
180### Core
181- **Surface** `#0a0b08` — page background, near-black with a warm cast
182- **Surface Lift** `#11120f` — modals, elevated cards
183- **Bone** `#eef0e6` — text, headings (never pure white)
184- **Bone 60** `rgba(238,240,230,0.6)` — secondary text
185- **Hairline** `rgba(238,240,230,0.06)` — every divider, every card edge
186 
187### Accent
188- **Volt Lime** `#c8ff3a` — primary CTA, active tab, score highlight
189- **Volt Lime 12** `rgba(200,255,58,0.12)` — focus ring, hovered tab fill
190 
191### Status
192- **Live Red** `#ff3b3b` — live indicator only, never as decoration
193 
194## 3. Typography
195 
196| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Leading | Tracking |
197|------|------|------|--------|---------|----------|
198| Hero | Big Shoulders Display | 88px | 800 | 0.92 | -0.02em |
199| H1 | Big Shoulders Display | 48px | 800 | 1.0 | -0.015em |
200| H2 | Big Shoulders Display | 30px | 700 | 1.15 | -0.01em |
201| Body | JetBrains Mono | 15px | 400 | 1.55 | 0 |
202| Label / UI | JetBrains Mono | 12px | 500 | 1.0 | 0.10em uppercase |
203| Score | Big Shoulders Display | 64px | 800 | 1.0 | -0.02em tabular |
204 
205Two weights for display: 700 / 800. One weight for body: 400. Labels are always uppercase, always tracked, always mono.
206 
207## 4. Buttons
208 
209### Primary (Volt)
210```css
211background: #c8ff3a;
212color: #0a0b08;
213padding: 12px 22px;
214border-radius: 0;
215font-family: "JetBrains Mono";
216font-weight: 700;
217text-transform: uppercase;
218letter-spacing: 0.10em;
219```
220 
221### Secondary (Bone Outline)
222- Transparent, 1px bone hairline at 18%, bone text
223- Same padding, same uppercase mono treatment
224 
225### Outline (Volt)
226- Transparent, 1px lime border, lime text — used only for "Watch live" / "Join queue"
227 
228## 5. Cards
229 
230- Background `#0a0b08` (or `#11120f` for elevated)
231- 1px hairline at 6% bone
232- NO radius (or 2px on featured)
233- NO shadow, ever — the lime accent is the only emphasis allowed
234 
235## 6. Charts
236 
237Flat solid bars with a 4px gap (broadcast scoreboard rhythm). One bar in volt lime, the rest in 18% bone. No gridlines, no dots — labels are mono uppercase along the baseline. Line charts run at 2px in volt lime with an 18% fill underneath. The chart is a scorecard, not a graph.
238 
239## 7. Tabs
240 
241Underline at 2px in volt lime for the active state. Inactive tabs are mono uppercase at 60% bone. No pill tabs.
242 
243## 8. Spacing
244 
245- Base 4px
246- Scale: `4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96`
247- Section padding: 96px desktop, 48px mobile — the dark surface needs air
248 
249## 9. Do's & don'ts
250 
251✅ **Do**
252- Use Big Shoulders Display only at 700/800 — anything lighter loses the broadcast weight
253- Keep every label uppercase mono with 0.10em tracking
254- Reserve the volt lime for one element per screen
255- Use sharp 0px radius everywhere except featured cards (2px)
256 
257❌ **Don't**
258- Use any radius above 2px — the system is sharp by design
259- Use a second accent color — Live Red exists ONLY for live indicators
260- Use shadows or glows on the lime — flat fill, always
261- Use a proportional sans for body — mono carries the broadcast feel
262

Solflare Bloom

A low-sun grainy gradient that runs deep ember to marigold with real fractal-noise grain. Cream surface, Inter Tight display in heavy 800, generous slabs of negative space, and the gradient burns through exactly the primary CTA, the featured tile, and the active chart bar. A warm, restrained bloom — never sunset cliché.
